A good suggestion Nick but ultimately I suspect it complicates things unnecesarily. If someone wants to initiate a dialogue through the form they can include an email address. Or they can just email us directly, our addresses are not hard to find. Posting them here or on the site defeats the purpose of trying to prevent more SPAM.

This is irrelevant. I want to state very clearly, that the Executive doesn't care who send messages to us. We are not snooping around trying to figure out who is sending what. If you want us to know who you are when sending a contact note, a suggestion or comment then that is up to you. We could respond to you in that case but the idea of anonymously sending these things has a lot of appeal, there is a freedom to this that I think you are all missing. It just doesn't matter to us. The content does. - -- Jarrod Major GPG Fingerprint: FA4A 1EA3 A0EE A842 07BB 804C 0090 14F6 BE6E DE3D CLUG President Registered Linux User: #224211 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iQCVAwUBQZ5IGACQFPa+bt49AQJAgQQAs+B4q2svfg3NLl/8+dxjib9Xu8tEZXxy B5AR5Yyp/BVumKOsINW+6fFBIapBjoWyTJtvCj5bwJZunk2FIluMP6iUR8REI7UR fmzqKv8ncRP5fhklmVlN++0L4vHNzDwGtx3E7OvHdtOLnVmHOIWcvsVz9KPp9itB kq1SAlVZyfs= =ETg3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
